Data Deletion and Privacy Control Policy for OneNinetyFive

1. Overview of User Data Sovereignty

At Nascentra Labs, we operate under the fundamental principle that your data belongs to you. This Data Deletion and Privacy Control Policy outlines the specific mechanisms available to you for removing your information from our ecosystem. Whether you are using OneNinetyFive: World Geography for casual learning or competitive play, you maintain full sovereignty over your geographic progress, achievements, and identity assets. We have designed our application architecture to ensure that the vast majority of your data remains within your physical or digital control, either on your local Android device or within your personal Google account infrastructure, rather than on centralized private servers.

2. Defining the Scope of Data Deletion

This policy covers all categories of data processed by the OneNinetyFive application. This includes "Local Data" stored on your smartphone (such as current lives, local high scores, and sound preferences) and "Cloud Data" synchronized via Google Play Games Services (such as leaderboard rankings, global streaks, and unlocked achievements). It also extends to "Communication Data," which refers to any information shared during support interactions with Nascentra. Understanding these categories is essential for exercising your right to deletion effectively, as different data types require different technical actions to ensure permanent removal from all digital environments.

3. Authority and Data Control Limits

It is important to understand the technical authority held by Nascentra Labs (or "Nascentra"). Because we do not use a private Virtual Private Server (VPS) or a proprietary user database, we do not have a central dashboard where we can "search" for and delete your game progress by username. Our authority is limited to the logic within the app that fetches data from Google and the temporary records generated during support requests. The "source of truth" for your global profile is Google Play Games. Therefore, while we provide the tools to trigger deletion, the physical removal of cloud-synced records often requires interaction with Google’s privacy tools.

4. User Autonomy in Data Management

We believe that privacy should be proactive, not just reactive. OneNinetyFive is built to function without requiring an account, giving you the autonomy to choose your level of data exposure from the very first launch. If you choose to play offline or without signing into Google Play Games, your data footprint is restricted entirely to your device. This design ensures that you do not need to submit a formal request to a corporation to "opt-out" of data collection; by simply managing your in-app settings and Google permissions, you exert direct control over how much of your geographic journey is recorded or shared.

5. Deleting Data from Local Storage

The most immediate way to delete your data is by removing it from your Android device's local storage. This is accomplished through the Android System Settings under "Apps" > "OneNinetyFive" > "Storage" > "Clear Data." This action will permanently erase your local SQLite database files and Shared Preferences, including your current lives, regional progress, and local settings. Because this data is not backed up to Nascentra servers, this process is instantaneous and irreversible. We recommend this step for users who wish to reset their geographic journey or ensure that no trace of the application remains on their hardware.

6. Deleting Data from Google Play Games

For users who have utilized the cloud synchronization features, deleting local data is only half of the process. To remove data stored in the cloud, you must access the Google Play Games app or your Google Account privacy settings. Within the Play Games app, you can select "Settings" > "Delete Play Games account & data" and choose to remove data for OneNinetyFive specifically. This will delete your achievements, XP, and synced game states from Google’s servers. Nascentra Labs does not have the administrative power to perform this action for you, as it requires authentication within your private Google security environment.

7. Managing and Removing Leaderboard Scores

When you achieve a high score or a significant streak, that data may be posted to a public leaderboard. To remove these entries, you must delete your game data through the Google Play Games interface mentioned in the previous section. Once you trigger the deletion of game data within your Google account, the Google Play Games API will automatically propagate those changes to our application, and your name and score will be removed from the competitive rankings. This ensures that your competitive history is scrubbed from the global community view, maintaining your privacy while protecting the integrity of the leaderboard for active players.

8. Deletion of Identity Assets (Name and Profile Picture)

OneNinetyFive fetches your profile picture and display name directly from Google Play Games to personalize your dashboard. We do not "save" these images or names to our own servers. To "delete" or change this information, you must update your Google Play Games profile. Once updated or deleted at the source (Google), our app will reflect these changes the next time it synchronizes with the API. If you wish for your identity to be completely anonymous within the app, you should disconnect your Google account from the game, which will result in the app reverting to a generic "Guest" or "Explorer" profile with no personal markers.

9. Opting Out of Global Synchronization

If you have previously synced your data but now wish to opt-out, you can simply sign out of Google Play Games within the OneNinetyFive settings menu. This action stops the app from sending your streaks or scores to the cloud. However, signing out does not automatically delete existing cloud data; it merely prevents future data transmission. To ensure that past data is also removed, you must follow the cloud deletion steps outlined in Heading 6. Opting out is an effective way to transition from a social, competitive experience to a private, local-only educational experience without losing the progress currently saved on your device.

10. Support Record Deletion Requests

When you contact Nascentra support via email (nascentra@gmail.com) or WhatsApp, we receive certain identifiers like your device name and Android version to assist with troubleshooting. If you wish for these communication records to be deleted after your issue is resolved, you may send a follow-up request to the same email address with the subject line "Data Deletion Request." We will purge our support ticket history and any associated metadata within 30 days of receiving your request. This ensures that your interactions with our technical team do not leave a permanent digital trail once the help you required has been provided.

11. Revoking Access via Google Account

For a comprehensive "clean break" from our application’s data interactions, you can revoke OneNinetyFive's access directly through your Google Account security dashboard. By navigating to "Security" > "Third-party apps with account access," you can find OneNinetyFive and select "Remove Access." This action invalidates the security tokens we use to fetch your profile picture and sync your scores. Revoking access is a powerful privacy tool that ensures no further data can be fetched by the app, even if it remains installed on your device, placing the ultimate "kill switch" for data sharing in your hands.

12. Data Deletion for In-App Purchases

Regarding in-app purchases, Nascentra Labs does not store your payment data, so there is no financial information for us to delete. However, your purchase history is a permanent part of your Google Play account. While you can delete your game progress and "lives," the record of the transaction remains in your Google purchase history for tax and legal compliance reasons. Deleting your OneNinetyFive data will result in the loss of any virtual items you have purchased, such as gems or content packs. These items are linked to your game state; once that state is deleted, the digital license is effectively terminated without the possibility of recovery.

13. Timelines for Permanent Deletion

Deletion actions initiated locally on your device are instantaneous. Once you click "Clear Data" or uninstall the app, the local records are gone immediately. For cloud-based data managed by Google, the deletion timeline is subject to Google’s internal processing speeds, which typically result in the removal of data from public view within minutes, though it may take longer for backend cache clearing. For manual support-related deletion requests sent to Nascentra Labs, we commit to completing the process within 30 calendar days, in line with international data protection standards like the GDPR, ensuring a timely response to your privacy needs.

14. Impact of Deletion on Game Progression

Users must be aware that data deletion is a destructive process with significant impact on gameplay. Removing your local or cloud data will reset your world geography progress to zero, wipe out your current daily streaks, and reset your "lives" count to the starting default. Because Nascentra does not maintain an independent backup of your progress, we cannot "undo" a deletion once it has been confirmed by the user or processed by Google. We encourage all geography students to consider this carefully before performing a reset, as hours of learning and competitive ranking achievements will be permanently discarded.

15. Verification of Deletion Requests

To protect our users from malicious deletion requests, we require verification for any manual data removal involving support records. If you email us requesting the deletion of your support history, we will only process the request if it originates from the same email address used in the initial correspondence. For WhatsApp requests, we will verify the phone number matches our logs. This verification step is crucial for preventing unauthorized individuals from interfering with your data or attempting to scrub your support history without your consent, maintaining the integrity of our privacy and security protocols.

16. Right to Eradication under GDPR

For our users in the European Union and the United Kingdom, we fully recognize your "Right to Erasure" (also known as the "Right to be Forgotten") under Article 17 of the GDPR. We have designed OneNinetyFive to be fully compliant with this mandate by ensuring that every piece of personal data we handle can be deleted through the user-facing tools described in this policy. If you believe there is a specific piece of information we have not addressed through these automated tools, you have the legal right to contact us at nascentra@gmail.com to demand its eradication, and we will work with you to ensure full GDPR compliance.

17. CCPA Deletion Rights for California

Residents of California are granted the right to request deletion of their personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Nascentra Labs extends these rights to all users regardless of their geographic location. You have the right to know what data has been collected (as detailed in our Privacy Policy) and the right to have it deleted. Since we do not sell your personal information to third parties, the deletion process focuses purely on the functional data required to run the game. California users can exercise their CCPA rights by following the device and Google account deletion steps provided in this document.

18. Handling Anonymous Usage Metrics

We monitor basic app performance metrics through the Google Play Console to ensure OneNinetyFive remains stable. These metrics, such as crash reports and installation counts, are anonymized and aggregated by Google before we see them. Because this data is not linked to a specific individual or device ID in a way that Nascentra can identify, it cannot be "deleted" on a per-user basis. This information does not constitute personal data under most privacy frameworks, as it provides only high-level insights into how the app is performing globally, helping us improve the geography quizzes for the entire community.

19. Non-Recoverability of Deleted Data

It is a critical technical reality that deleted data in the OneNinetyFive ecosystem is non-recoverable. We do not maintain "trash" folders or "deleted items" backups for game progress. Once a user triggers a deletion event—whether by clearing device storage or deleting Google Play Games data—the information is purged from the active database. Our support team at nascentra@gmail.com cannot restore lost streaks, high scores, or unlocked levels for users who have performed a deletion. We emphasize that users should back up any data they wish to keep by ensuring their Google synchronization is active before making major changes.

20. Automated Local Cleanup Processes

To maintain device performance and respect your storage space, OneNinetyFive may include automated cleanup scripts that remove transient or temporary files. For example, if you have not opened a specific regional content pack for a long period, the app may clear the cached assets associated with that pack while keeping your progress score intact. This is an automated "housekeeping" feature that does not delete your personal data or achievements but ensures the app remains lightweight. This process is part of our commitment to efficient resource management and a clean, high-performance Android experience.

21. Third-Party Integration Cleanup

While this policy focuses on our app and Google Play Games, you may have used other third-party tools (like Android backup services) that have cached copies of your app data. We recommend that users check their "Google Drive Backup" settings to ensure that OneNinetyFive app data is removed from their cloud backups if they wish for a truly complete deletion. Nascentra Labs does not have visibility into your personal cloud backup services, so users must manually verify that these secondary storage locations are cleared to achieve a 100% data-free status following their geography studies.

22. Legal and Regulatory Retention Exceptions

Nascentra Labs may be required to retain certain information despite a deletion request if such retention is necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our Terms of Use. For instance, if a user has been banned for cheating on the leaderboards, we may retain a non-identifiable hash of the device ID or Google account ID to prevent that user from re-entering the competitive environment under a new name. This retention is strictly limited to what is necessary for the security and fairness of the OneNinetyFive community and is conducted in accordance with the "Legitimate Interest" provisions of global privacy laws.

23. Modifications to Deletion Procedures

As Android system updates and Google Play Games APIs change, the technical steps required for data deletion may evolve. Nascentra Labs reserves the right to modify the procedures described in this policy to reflect these technical shifts. We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document whenever changes are made. We encourage users to refer back to this "Data Deletion and Privacy Control" page if they find that the standard Android menus have changed, ensuring they always have the most current information for managing their geographic data and maintaining their digital privacy.

24. Step-by-Step Deletion Guide

For your convenience, here is a summary of the deletion steps:

• Local Data: Open Android Settings > Apps > OneNinetyFive > Storage > Clear Data.
• Cloud Data: Open Google Play Games app > Three dots menu > Settings > Delete Play Games account & data > Delete data for OneNinetyFive.
• Identity Removal: Disconnect Google account in the in-app Settings menu.
• Support History: Email nascentra@gmail.com with the subject "Data Deletion Request."
• App Removal: Long-press the app icon and select "Uninstall."

Following these steps ensures that your entire footprint is removed from the OneNinetyFive ecosystem.
